BTCT Establishes $1M Ethereum Reserve in Strategic DeFi Shift
BTC Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ: BTCT), a publicly traded blockchain infrastructure firm, has officially launched a $1 million Ethereum (ETH) strategic reserve, marking a pivotal shift in its evolution from a crypto mining company to a key player in decentralized finance (DeFi) .
This strategic move highlights BTCT’s growing conviction in Ethereum’s role as the backbone of on-chain financial infrastructure, particularly in areas such as stablecoin issuance, asset tokenization, and decentralized payments. According to CEO Siguang Peng, the newly established reserve is only the beginning of a broader ETH accumulation strategy designed to capitalize on Ethereum’s increasing dominance in the digital economy.

“With stablecoin transactions surging, Ethereum is quickly becoming the global infrastructure for on-chain USD value transfer,”
Peng said.
“Securing this reserve positions us to engage deeper with the decentralized economy—from stablecoin issuance to asset tokenization and yield strategies.”
BTCT’s strategy is supported by several macro-level trends. Ethereum remains the dominant network for major stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, placing it at the heart of decentralized liquidity and cross-border settlements. Furthermore, Ethereum’s on-chain transaction volume, driven largely by stablecoin activity, is nearing parity with traditional financial systems, underlining its growing utility in global finance.
Additionally, BTCT highlighted a wave of institutional adoption of ETH as a reserve and yield-bearing asset. Many blockchain firms are now integrating Ethereum into their treasuries for staking, collateralization, and smart contract-enabled financial products. Regulatory clarity in the U.S., Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade, and improved Layer-2 scalability solutions further reinforce the company’s bullish outlook on the asset.
Meanwhile, Ethereum’s market momentum continues to accelerate. The asset surged past $2,800 today, fueled by a wave of large-scale accumulation. On-chain data reveals that at least seven major entities collectively acquired 127,971 ETH—worth roughly $358 million—in the past 24 hours, signaling renewed institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term value.
